  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the car hire company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with a hired car. Please read the regulations before booking!
